So it’s the season of love. Yay! Love! But now you’re down to the last minute and you don’t know what to get the special geek in your life. You know he’d love a new 42 inch Plasma, but your budget isn’t really there. That doesn’t mean he (or she) has to be stuck with the crappy card/teddy bear combo. There are plenty of great geek-friendly gifts out there that are cheap and special.

Here are a few ideas:

Handy?

If your Sig other is a tinker then a new Swiss army tool set could be just thing. I am constantly trying to find a screwdriver to take something apart. I imagine boys do it more often than me. This little beauty is small, it fits on your keychain and isn’t silly and bulky looking. Pair it with their favorite candy and your sweet smile for a great gift.

Retro Gamer?

Try some sw33t wall stickers! These decals will make any geek think of the hours they spent in front of a screen mashing buttons and killing enemes growing up. Plus they are really freaking sweet. Who hasn’t wanted to live in Mario land?

Everyone loves a graphic tee. Inevitably hungover on a Sunday morning, it’s the perfect statement to make when you’re not so much in the mood (or physical condition) to make one aloud.

Remember during your awkward phase in middle school when you’d sport those Claire’s or Afterthought’s smart-a*s buttons or keychains on your backpack? The one’s that said things like ‘I’m not mean you’re just annoying’ or something falling into a similar b*tchy context.

We loved how loud that little piece of plastic could be, am I right? Without even speaking it was like ‘this is what I’m about. Take it or leave it.’ Well, the graphic tee plays the same role in a more age-appropriate genre.

Of course there was the whole snorg tee craze, but that was just big press over the ‘super-cute-down-to-earth-snorg-tee-girl!’

Now that we’re nearing the holidays, I’m sure you’re all scrounging for cute gift ideas. Look no further! Read More »
